FRANK B. DENNING, OF MARBLEHEAD, MASSACHUSETTS.

OIL-BURNER.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 735,219, dated August 4, 1903.

Application filed October 16, 1902. $erial No. 127,552. N 111011810 To all whom it may concern:

Be it known thatI, FRANK B. DENNING, a. citizen of the United States, residing at Marblehead, in the county of Essex and State of Massachusetts, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Oil-Burners; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to devices for burning oil in fireplaces or stoves; and it consists in the novel construction and combination of the parts hereinafter fully described and claimed.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is aperspective View of the burner. Fig. 2 is a cross-section through the baffle-plate.

A is a shallow pan provided with uprights B at its ends. These uprights have narrow Vertical slots bin them extending downward for about one-third of their height and have broad slots 0 at their tops.

C is a skeleton supporting-plate provided with rectangular lugs d, which rest on the bottoms of the narrow slots 1).

D is a baffle-plate or spreading-plate provided with rectangular lugs e,whic h rest in the slots 0. The baflie-plate has a downwardlyprojeeting protuberance or rib f along its middle part.

G is a coil for the oil, provided with very small holes g. This coil is supported by the skeleton plate over the pan.

H is a branch pipe for the attachment of the oil-pipe from the oil-reservoir,-which is of any approved construction, and his the valve which regulates the supply of oil.

Some oil is first allowed to fall into the pan and is ignited in it. The heat of this burning oil vaporizes the oil in the coil,which then issues in the form of gas and burns with great heat, the flame being directed laterally toeach side of the burner by the bafile-plate.

What I claim is 1. In an oil-burner, the combination, with an oil-pan having uprights, of a skeleton plate supported by the uprights, a baffle-plate provided with a downwardly-projecting rib along its middle part and supported by the uprights over the skeleton plate, and a perforatedcoib pipe supported by the said skeleton plate, substantially as set forth.

2. In an oil-burner, the combination, with an oil-pan having uprights provided with broad slots and narrow slots, said broad slots being arranged at the top of the said uprights over the said narrow slots, of a skeleton plate provided with lugs which engage with the said narrow slots, a baflie-plate arranged over the skeleton plate and provided with lugs which rest in the said broad slots, and a perforated coil-pipe supported by the said skeleton plate, substantially as set forth.

In testimony whereof I aflix my signature in presence of two witnesses.

FRANK B. DENNING.
